Nobody pays for FOSS, we can force them to

    Our school system has been using FOSS products for years.

    In effect, it is a donation to a non-profit organization.

    However, I'm not aware of any of the creators reaping a tax deduction for their donation.

    Donating a used car to a non-profit has a well established path to this end.

    Are any FOSS authors using a similar method to attain some payback?
